Lorraine grew up in Northern Victoria and attended one-teacher rural schools as a child. She always loved to read but had no real interest in writing until much later, when she was deputy principal of a large inner city Melbourne school, Helen St Northcote.

She has written many books for children including City Kids, Country Kids and Footy Kids Series. Today she combines education consultancy and writing, for children and teachers.
